Experiences with

Esmya

Hi there, I have just been prescribed esmya for fibroids and wondered what people’s experience of it was side effect and pain management wise?

Hi, anyone experience this, had to be admitted by ambulance as I couldnt pass urine, the pain was horrific, it was discovered I had an 8 x 7 cm fibroid pressing on my bladder, I was kept in for 3 days and released on Esmya!

Then I had 2 fibroids which caused major bleeding so coil removed and hormone treatments tried esmya, hormone injection every 3 months with hrt - still having these, provera and transamic acid not working. Treatments were to shrink fibroids but they have grown as has the endo.

I had the pain for around ten years with my periods but then started getting the pains everyday all day tried the marina coil which made it worse had that taken out after a month, I now live my life around painkillers and I'm either drugged up or in pain, my gyne isn't offering a hysterectomy only esmya

Hi just wondering if anyone has been prescribed ESMYA for adeno, I tried the marina coil and it made the pain ten times worse and I had to get it out after a month, I have the pain everyday and I'm on painkillers constantly, thanks all xx

As Esmya can no longer be prescribed does anyone know of any other alternative non invasive treatments. Thankyou

I was put on esmya for 3 months, I was suppose to take a break from them for 2 months before going back on them for a second cycle to reduce the size even more.

She said it could possibly disappear with my next period ( I haven’t had a period for 3 months ) due to Esmya. If not or it grows I may need blood work done, is this to rule out cancer? I’m really panicking now, I feel sick about it !

. 😢 all the money we have spent with the private gynae dr to shrink it using Esmya was pointless. Our gynae dr told us to leave it and not touch it. I’m so fed up of conflicting advice. To top it all off they found a cyst on my ovary ! I’ve never had a cyst before.

Esmya success ! So nervous it will grow back whilst I’m waiting though !

I’ve currently been taking Esmya to shrink my fibroid. I’m down to my last weeks worth after 3 months. I’ve just read online that it’s been recalled in the uk due to causing liver damage. That women are meant to be called back monthly for a liver function test ‘ this is the first I’ve heard.

Anyone else have any experiences of Esmya?

I was taking Esmya but it's safety is being reviewed at present and I'm not allowed to start another course. Also I'll be seeing my consultant soon and I know Zoladex is probably going to be the option offered next. I would like to go armed with questions just incase. Thanks Jo

And how long did it take to notice the esmya working its magic. Im petrified!! I'm 52.

I’m to continue with Esmya for 3 months anyway. Round 2 ivf cancelled and i still don’t feel any closer or hopeful. A part of me wonders so I need a surrogate :( that my body is just failing us

So It begins this for the next 3 months. Hopefully my fibroid will have shrunk and I can begin IVF2 in April/May. I feel so tearful today this has been such a long process nearly 4 years ttc and I still don't feel any closer 😣

So after a private consultation today my consultant advised shrinking my fibroid using Esmya before next round ? Any experience ?

Recently prescribed Esmya. My symptoms (mainly pains) are becoming more and more frequent and are staring to interfere with my job. How have you all coped with working and dealing with pain symptoms and have you had to explain the condition to your manager?

I regularly take Co-codomol, tramadol, naproxen, just started Gabapentin and on my next period Esmya. My first Mirena was fitted in 2013 which was great, no periods, less pain but I'm now on my third and it's not helping, I'm having regular bleeds/brown discharge and periods.

I had been on Lupron then Esmya since July. My doctor prescribed me Qlaira so that it wouldn't reoccur. My concern is, should I be worried to embark on a new pill? I mean, I've been on medications since July and I feel like I want to be on a break from pills.
